Perspectives on the Prehistory of Central Asia. 4 Upper Palaeolithic Reseraches in Central Asia Marcel Otte ∗ 1 1 Universite de Liege { Belgium From Zagros to Altai, numerous new researches have indicated clear cultural tendencies across the earliest part of Upper Paleolithic. I shall begin with the Denisova chronology, and the appearance of osseous implement at the upper mots levels. In the Altai we also have Aurignacian dates, extending back to Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran. On the other hand, we also face the long blades traditions, either in Obi-Rahmat or in Kara Bom, leading from eighty thousands to forty thousands, living a possibility for the emergence of Gravettian industries in the west. Many other industries will be briefly show, they indicate a huge potential of modern human and Neanderthal populations, as well as different cultural traditions in which they were linked. This very dense region, in any part of the UP is now to be involved for a sound understanding of the origins and dispersion of modern humanity into Pleistocene Europe. Keywords: Central Asia, Upper Palaeolithic Modern man Neandertal ∗Speaker 5 PIGMENTS AND PIGMENT-CONTAINING MATERIALS IN THE PALEOLITHIC CULTURES OF SIBERIA Lbova Liudmila ∗ 1 1 Novosibirsk State University, Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS (NSU, IAET) { Pirogova str. 2, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia Early facts of the use of pigment are known from the materials of European and African complexes of the Early Paleolithic (300 000 - 100 000 years BP). The use of pigments of different colors becomes a stable component of the culture during the Middle Paleolithic - initial stage of the Upper Paleolithic. The earliest evidence of the use of pigments in Siberia is presented in paleolithic complexes with dates of 40 000 - 50 000 years BP, most of which are associated with modern human's culture and blade technologies. Mineral pigments are used as antiseptic materials, skin softeners, as mastic (glue), the basis for paints in the creation of drawings on the walls of caves, combat and ritual coloring of the body or objects, and the burial of the deceased, etc. We have tested the method of determining the elemental composition (SEM-EDX method) of pigments of various colors (red, pink, purple, yellow, white, blue, green). There were analyzed as pigment-containing natural materials, colored structures of the cultural layer, compositions of artificial pigments, as well as traces of paint on mobile art objects (Siberian sites: Kara-Bom, Malaya Siya, Khotyk, Kamenka, Malta). Determination of pigment-containing natural minerals indicates a range of possible deposits based on petrographic and mineralogical comparisons, which plays an important role in the investigation of resource strategies for population adaptation and use raw materials in different areas of Southern Siberia. Microscopic determination of combination, artificial, composition of pigments from the spectrum characterizes the technology of pigment formation, as well as options for its utilization (use). This study is supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project No. 17-56-16016.

Lithic and bone artifacts, together with animal remains, can tell us about the activities undertaken around the site: area of penetration, raw material procurement, hunting methods and the preferred prey. But when we start rising important questions about wider paleoenvironmental context { such as landscape or climate, additional methods need to be involved. In this paper we present an attempt of insight into seasonal changes in the environment of Central Asiatic Neanderthals through the isotopic analysis. The research method included the decoding of carbon and oxygen isotopic signature (δ18O, δ13C) preserved in ungulate teeth, ex- cavated from Neanderthal layers of Chagyrskaya Cave (Russian Federation, northwestern Altai, Charysh River
